Vivica A. Fox, Andy Dick, Judd Hirsch, Judah Friedlander, Mark McGrath and Kelly Osbourne are all set to star in the sequel, which will premiere in July 2014, E! News has confirmed.

So who will they all be playing in the movie, which is sure to trend on Twitter (at its peak, the original generated 5,000 tweets per minute)?

According to Syfy, the sequel, which will begin production in New York City next week, will find Fin and April (Reid) trying to save NYC after a freak weather system turns its deadly fury on the city, with sharks looking to take a bite of the Big Apple. (Sorry, we couldn't resist.)

"Sharknado was an extraordinary 'perfect storm' which captured the attention of movie fans across the globe," Syfy's executive vice president Thomas Vitale said in a statement. You couldn't go anywhere without hearing about Sharknado! By reassembling the creative team-and dropping sharks onto New York's iconic sites-we're unleashing yet another 'fin' wave of shark-mania."
